*Cookies: Bite-Size Life Lessons

The book is by turns clever, honest, inspirational, and whimsical. Go ahead, take a bite!

*One Smart Cookie: Bite Size Lesson for the School Years and Beyond

• One Smart Cookie offers a fresh batch of words that encompasses everything you might say to a child, whether it be the first day of preschool or the last day of high school.
